"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; David Villa has been admitted to the hospital with kidney stones. (Lluis Gene, AFP/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Barcelona forward David Villa's return to the starting eleven has been scuppered once again, this time by an ill-timed health problem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Spanish club announced Monday that Villa has been admitted to a hospital for treatment of a nephritic colic infection, known colloquially as kidney stones. Villa's hospital stay means he has officially been listed as doubtful for the team's upcoming La Liga match against Granada on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Villa has endured a stretch of tough luck after a scintillating 2010-2011 season in which he scored 18 goals in 34 appearances for Barcelona. The forward broke his tibia in a Club World Cup game against Al-Sadd of Qatar at the end of 2011 and has since struggled to break back in to the starting line-up both for Barcelona and the Spanish national team.\nVilla started and scored in Barcelona's last game, a 6-1 demolition of Getafe on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
